Toilet papers can be disposed of in toilets and they are made of such material that they can easily flow through the drains and pipes without blocking the way. But it is quantity in which they are being disposed off in the toilets which matter the most. This is why it is suggested to discharge the toilet papers in garbage cans in order to avoid a blocked toilet.
- With dual flush mechanism, there is often arises a problem of insufficient water supply. It is generally seen that the water pressure for such toilets is not readily available in order to drain out the waste. It is because such dual flush mechanisms have weak flushes which are unable to allow proper flow and pressure of water.

- It is often noticed that people tend to throw away all kinds of stuff in toilets such as sanitary pads, tampons, condom, etc. which are not even supposed to be there. This can block the pipes and lead to serious clogging problems. Toilets are only capable of flushing away the natural waste and toilet papers and anything else flushed otherwise can lead to serious drainage blocking issues.
